'HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL BOOK' SUNDAY TIMES
 
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF AN ISRAELI NUCLEAR
WEAPON THREATENS THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE
MIDDLE EAST - AND THE WORLD, IN TOM CLANCY'S
EXPLOSIVE INTERNATIONAL #1 BESTSELLER

 
As those in power around the globe face up to the challenges
of a new world order, in Washington CIA Deputy Director Jack Ryan
is putting everything into a plan that could finally bring peace to
a Middle East still suffering from the ravages of war. But too many
groups have invested too much blood to allow the plan to
succeed - the terrorists have one final, desperate card to play. With
one terrible act the world is plunged into nuclear crisis.

 
His dreams of peace shattered, Ryan is confronted with a situation
he has never dared to imagine: with the world standing on the brink
of war, what do you do if the US President is incompetent to deal
with the greatest crisis of all?

 
'Tom Clancy's best book since
The Hunt for Red October. A treasure trove of
geopolitical terrors... bulges with technological
verisimilitude... a whiz-bang page-turner.'

NEW YORK TIMES
 
'Another classic Clancy... accurate
and chilling... assures his place at the forefront
of modern thriller writers.'
